12Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.
13For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Focused Passage
Psalms 56:12-13
Trusting God's Word When Fear and Enemies Press In
Psalm 56 moves from plea under relentless pursuit, to fear disciplined by trust in God's word, to exposure of twisted speech and hidden plots, to assurance that God records tears, to repeated confidence that mortal humanity is not ultimate, and finally to vows of thanksgiving for deliverance from death.
